Letra del Tango Canaro en París

Vieja milonga
que en mi horas de tristeza,
traes a mi mente
tu recuerdo cariñoso
y encadenandome a tus notas.
Dulcemente,
siento que el alma
se me encoje poco a poco.

Hoy que los años
han blanqueado ya mis sienes,
tango querido,
viejo tango que me embarga,
con la cadencia
de su musica sentida,
recuerdo aquella epoca,
tan linda que se fue.

English lyrics of the Tango "Canaro en París"

Old milonga
that in my hours of sadness,
brings to my mind
your affectionate memory
and chaining me to your notes.
Sweetly,
I feel that my soul
gradually shrinks.

Now that the years
have already whitened my temples,
beloved tango,
old tango that overwhelms me,
with the cadence
of its heartfelt music,
I recall that time,
so beautiful that has gone.
